SpotCrime is now on Apple TV!

You can now check out crime in your area on your TV!
SpotCrime on Apple TV

In an effort to place crime data into the hands of as many people as possible we’ve launched the SpotCrime Apple TV app.

The app will pinpoint your location and show up to date crime information in your area. 

You’ll be able to use the Apple TV remote to search for a specific address, drag the map to a new location, view a crime list, and see more detail on each crime by selecting a specific icon. 

We hope the app is another channel (no pun intended) to seamlessly access relevant crime information.

If you prefer Chromecast, you can cast the SpotCrime app to your TV with any device running Android 4.4.2 or higher.

Don’t see crime in your area? Let us know and ask your local police agency to share data. SpotCrime will map crime and send out email alerts to residents for free. 

We believe openness with crime data will create a higher level of transparency among both citizens and public officials. The easier it is for a community to access and share crime data, the higher the chance that community will be proactive in the fight against crime. Stay aware, stay safe.
